- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 180 min
- Makes: 1 serving (327 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Dairy-free, Low carb
- Contains: celery, gluten, poultry
Ingredients
- 180 g Goose, raw
- 60 g Apples, raw
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 0.5 g Marjoram, dried
- 0.8 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 50 g Vegetable broth
- 5 g Flour, all-purpose
Method
- Prick the goose skin all over (without piercing the meat) so the fat renders freely, then rub the skin and cavity with salt, pepper and marjoram.
- Quarter the apple and onion and stuff them into the cavity.
- Set the goose breast-up on a rack in a roasting tin and roast at 160 °C (320 °F), allowing about 40 minutes per 500 g, basting every 30 minutes with the rendered fat.
- For the last 20 minutes, raise the heat to 220 °C (425 °F) to crisp and darken the skin, until the juices run clear and the thickest part reaches 74 °C (165 °F).
- Rest the goose for 15-20 minutes under foil before carving.
- Skim most of the fat from the tin, whisk the flour into the remaining juices over heat, then loosen with the vegetable broth to make a gravy; season and strain before serving with the sliced goose.
